Mystery Place…

Today I went to a place where the workers leave with friendly goodbyes from other people.

Today I went to a place where the people standing looked just as comfortable and content as the people sitting.

Today I went to a place where I was not condemned for not checking a specific box.

Today I went to a place where the woman behind the counter laughed at my jokes about it being a place of laughter and giggles.

Today I went to a place where a nice girl said, “Oh, wait, you dropped this!” and I responded with, “Well that would have sucked!” and she laughed.

Today I went to a place where they made the mistake, not me!

Today I went to a place where I turned to the woman I was with and said, “Wait, this can’t be where I think I am.”

Today I went to the DMV.

I’ll give you a moment to let that sink in…. I went to the DMV. And hot diggity I could not believe my eyes. Every other DMV I’ve been to has been torture (there is one exception- we have a connection with someone in the Rensselaer County DMV and always have a good experience there… because we don’t have to wait in the waiting room). NYC, Geneva, Brockport, Buffalo and the other Buffalo one, all very “challenging” places to be happy at. Yes, they have a very tough job and answer the same question over and over, but this DMV I went to today was like the champagne of DMVs. I actually might have got drunk off the happiness because I was so darn surprised to walk in there and find the attitude, um, dare I say, welcoming…

If you’re in the Rochester area and need to goto the DMV, head to the one in Geneseo. Sure it’s a little bit more of a drive but it’s 100% worth it.
